When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell began cracking down on players who misbehave off the field, Jones was the poster boy for NFL troublemakers, and off-field issues nearly derailed his career, causing him to miss the entire 2007 season, part of the 2008 season and the entire 2009 season. More recently Jones has said he has changed his ways and learned to avoid off-field trouble, although this is his second arrest of the year. He was previously arrested for hitting a woman at a Cincinnati bar, and he is scheduled for trial on October 7 on that charge.

Pacman got busted for speaking out. Cincy Police frown on you when you do that. Impressive he has no black eye in that pic.

How is he not a Raider?

We have this big win, and what do you do? You get arrested!!! Sure, sure it’s not your fault. The policemen made you resist arrest. Control your damn temper or stay home all the time.

Jones has done some horrible things in the past and he deserves the bad reputation. But disorderly conduct? Come on, this is overblown. Also there is plenty of history with Cincinnati police escalating and overreacting, especially with black athletes.

This guy must have some kind of learning disability!
I wish Dre Kirkpatrick could stay healthy and start developing some kind of game so we can get rid of this fool. Adam Jones has some talent but no brains whatsoever.

I didn’t like him until I read this post. lol, Good for you Adam. Cops get away with way to much as it is. Good on him!!!

2:30a.m. and on the road? The Gentleman’s Clubs in Cincy must close early in Cincy.

And I remember when football was about football. Went to the Oilers games in Rice Stadium to watch George Blanda play when I was a kid.

Now it’s all about arrests, rehab, fines, divas, drugs and……..(sigh)…..

———————————————

These guys have always been trouble. The difference today is that we have a 24 hr news cycle and instant news via social media. LT was way worse than Pacman

—————————————————-

I’ll bet George Blanda never mouthed off to a police officer………besides he was too busy playin’ QB and the kicker…….

How come you never hear about kickers getting arrested, just wondering.

Good observation. Though….the fact that it is the most cush job on the planet and that not one of them would jeopardize it probably has something to do with it.

Disorderly persons is just a nicer way of saying misdemeanor, which could mean he did one of any number of things, which include saying something sarcastic to the officer that he didn’t want to hear…sort of a ticky-tack charge which will result in a fine (if it was something stupid like making a comment), but at least it’s different, in a good way, than what he used to get arrested for

This guy is making 6 figures a year. Has been arrested 8 times and yet this guy is still in the league. How many times do you have to show that you’re a screw up before the NFL says enough? The league should put in a policy that if you get arrested more than two times, you’re done. You’re banned from the league for life. If your average American gets arrested multiple times, they’re lucky to get a job at Mcdonalds.

I guess a Bengal can’t change his stripes. And cops have the most under appreciated jobs in the world. At 230 am pulling over a vehicle that’s a high tension situation they have serious concern about being shot or assaulted during the stop so it’s definitely not overreacting to lock someone up for “mouthing off”. Because we are supposed to just accept that that’s all that happened. I’m sorry but none of us were there and PAC man is a career criminal. I’m going to believe that he deserved the arrest until proof emerges that he didn’t.

You can paint a turd orange with black stripes, he still ends up being a turd with stripes. I believe it was his attempt to not get burned over and over by Josh Gordon this weekend. Stay Classy Ben Gals!

Everyone please remember: Back in ’07 Jones was interviewed by Johnny Cakes Auville and stated that, “Trouble just be following me around where-evers I done go.”

I guess he was right.

At least he bought Mama Grizzly at a discount price from Drab and Valdez.

Freedom of speech, cops are scum bags for the most part. He is just pissed off that they make more money then him

Adam keep your pimp hand Adam keep your pimp hand Adam keep your pimp hand strong! lol! Wonder if he has a personal cell he goes to every time he’s arrested? Adam are you going to take your things with you? Nah just keep them here i’ll be back in a few weeks!

Disorderly conduct is such a broadly and vaguely defined law. The cops use it and other things like “harassment” as blanket charges that they can apply to anyone for saying or doing just about anything.

I, for one, don’t understand why being rude to a cop is a crime. Last I checked, cops are just people and we all have a right to free speech.

1. He wasn’t arrested. He was given a citation.

2. He called the cop a pig. Sorry folks. That isn’t getting him banned.
